Shakespearean Comedy

Shakespeare offers us a Comedy with his own firm in all that. He was a poet and became famous for his collaborations while Queen Elizabeth was reigning.

Shakespeare's comedy was very different of what we know as comedy now a days. He made more emphasis in  situations than in characters. He basically considered comedy that work which had a happy ending. It is, when he wrote comedy he had two main characters who in a point of the story would get married and be happily ever after. This ending -where they are together- was what defined the work as a comedy. He turned also on humor- dry and earth humor, and practical jokes-.

• The Two Gentlemen of Verona
